Bryson DeChambeau was then asked about what was holding him back now that his hand was okay. He responded by saying, “Well, the bone’s not healed. It takes four months for the bone to heal. I feel pressure in it every once in a while when it jars into the ground, I can feel it. I can do that to it and it doesn’t hurt. But there’s times when the end of the club just bats into it right where I broke it, or compression fractured it.”
“It’s a little frightening. Once the muscles around it continue to get stronger, it will stabilize it even better. And once the bone fully heals, two more months, it will continue to get better.”
He further added by saying, “But I can’t really refracture it. It’s a smooth surface now and the bone is stable. As soon as those muscles are strong, working out every day, that’s all I can do.”
